Featured in AniMat’s Crazy Cartoon: Silly Old Deadly Bear (2022)
Four children make a mysterious discovery on their home planet, which causes them to get lost in a strange and dangerous galaxy. Jude Law in “Skeleton Crew”; plus stars from a galaxy far, far away. The holographic circus that entertains Neil’s little siblings is the same one that accompanies Chewbacca’s extended family in the infamous The Star Wars Holiday Special (1978).
The first 2 episodes don’t break new ground and aren’t very original, but that’s not a problem as it handles everything well
Knowing that there’s a lot of hate directed at this show due to the rise and fall of the previous Star Wars, I’m happy to say that this is an upswing. So far… The actors and their performances are great, the costuming/set design is probably the best we’ve seen since Andor, the script, especially the hilarious banter between the kids, was good.
It gives me strong Treasure Planet vibes
Again, nothing new, but it’s fascinating nonetheless and I look forward to continuing to watch. As someone who hasn’t enjoyed recent Star Wars, Skeleton Crew surprised me. I hope that anyone who is even slightly interested or even shocked by the recent shows will give it a chance.
See more in our December calendar!
Do not give "children" The conversation rejects you. Star Wars is made for everyone, and so is this.. "One Hundred Years of Solitude" is one of the biggest TV and streaming premieres this month.
